- MPMatthew PayneFeb 7, 20261.0Had the worst haircut ever. For 8 years I was in the military I had to get a fade every single week. I go in and ask for a low fade from someone who has a certification from a beauty school and she puts on one clip and runs it from the bottom of my hair line strait to the top. No fading what so ever and now it looks like I have a toupee on my head. Wouldn't go back if it was the last barber in the worl.
- VUVellarts USNov 9, 20251.0This is the first time in my entire life ( I’m I have 60 years now) that a haircut has caused me so much sadness, and I feel terrible emotionally. I thought that people who work in a hair salon at least knew what they were doing. This weekend I had such a disastrous experience that today, Sunday, I still haven't recovered, and I'm still crying over the disaster of my hair. How could someone with no sense of consequence or experience cut off all my hair without any style whatsoever, and give me a total man's cut that doesn't even look right? I spent eight months waiting for my hair to be long enough to get the style I wanted, and now I barely have any hair left to fix it. And to top it all off, I told them several times to stop, asking what they were doing, that I didn't like it, until they finally ended up with a cut that has no signature whatsoever. I've cried so much, and all my family and friends only ask me, "What happened to your hair?" when they see me. And what about the haircut? Fine, thanks. She'll just keep damaging her hair and getting whatever cut she finds most comfortable. You have no idea how much you can emotionally destroy someone, just over a haircut. You know who you are; I don't need to mention your name. And I just hope you can do something with your life that fulfills you, but believe me, it's not cutting hair.
- CKCasey-Jack Kitos-CoppocOct 28, 20255.0Nice stylist and a real pleasant demeanor. Store was clean and the wait once there was super short. Thank you!
- CRChase RuzekOct 21, 20255.0Julie (Julz) was fantastic. I mentioned my Dad has dementia and she immediately knew how to handle it; joked with him, made him feel comfortable, and guided him to getting a cut and wash. Hair looked great. A very special and meaningful level of customer service. TY!
- FAFaye AndersonSep 18, 20255.0They cut my hair the way I wanted.
